In Pokémon-Speak, the only thing a character says is his or her name. This is essentially the inverse: a character is named for the only thing he or she says. Sometimes the latter causes the former. The way it usually works is someone with a limited or one-word vocabulary is named after that one word. Often, this will occur because other characters don't know this character's real name (if there even is one), and are uncomfortable with not having something to call them beyond "Hey, you." The simple solution: Take the only word(s) they ever utter and turn that into their name.

The simple solution: Take the only word(s) they ever utter and turn that into their name. Note that, despite the title, the source of the name isn't necessarily a Verbal Tic. However, the spirit is there in that the character's limited vocabulary is his or her defining attribute. Examples of Verbal Tic Name include:
